I’ve lost count of the times I’ve regretted leaving a tip. I don’t want anyone to grovel, that’s not why I tip, but to feel like you’ve done something wrong is not on!
Would it kill you to give 80 baht? Just because you haven’t seen a Thai person give a tip doesn’t mean some don’t. Just another attempt at justifying stinginess IMO
Whether it’s the norm or not is irrelevant, it’s absolutely right to tip for good service and it will always be appreciated. Those who are so vehemently against tipping are just too stingy.
Nope, it’s just Emirates being Emirates. I was loyal to them for 10 years, but it’s a one way loyalty and having watched the standard of service drop through the floor my loyalty is gone.
Could you define “ a bit expensive “ please”! I’m often in Hua Hin so if you have a recommendation for someone there I’d appreciate it too.
edit, just noticed that you said you haven’t used anyone in HH
